Canada bans an Australian tourism campaign in their country for the apparent use of the term "bloody hell", which is deemed offensive in many parts of the world, and for luring visitors by saying "We've poured you a beer!".

The ads begin with characters saying: "We've poured you a beer and we've had the camels shampooed, we've saved you a spot on the beach... and we've got the sharks out of the pool".

It then end with a bikini-clad woman on a beach asking "so where the bloody hell are you?"

According to Australian Tourism Minister Fran Bailey, she believes Canadian regulators have lost their sense of humor.

"Buying a mate a beer is about as Australian as you can get. But the Canadian regulator has banned the shot because implied unbranded alcohol consumption (a part-empty beer glass) is unacceptable," Bailey says in a statement.
